Karl Barth (1886-1968) was a prolific theologian of the 20th
century. Dr Gorringe places the theology in its social and
political context, from World War I through to the Cold War by
following Barth's intellectual development through the years that
saw the rise of national socialism and the development of
communism. Barth initiated a theological revolution in his two
"Commentaries on Romans", begun during World War I. His attempt to
deepen this during the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic made
him a focus of theological resistance to Hitler after the rise to
power of the Nazi party. Expelled from Germany, he continued to
defy fashionable opinion by refusing to condemn communism after
World War II. Drawing on a German debate largely ignored by
Anglo-Saxon theology, Dr Gorringe shows that Barth responds to the
events of his time not just in his occasional writings, but in his
magnum opus, the "Church Dogmatics". In conclusion Dr Gorringe asks
what this admittedly patriarchal author still has to contribute to
contemporary theology, and in particular human liberation. This
book is intended for undergraduate courses in theology and history
of doctrine.
